jefe the grateful dead will never be past tense.
they are the sap running thru our trunks,
keeping the worldly pests at bay,
making syrup for our breakfast,
and medicine for Mason's children.
and when we're just rotting stumps
Dead and gone.
and our sway is silenced
and our heights are grounded,
the next generation will make jewelry
outta the petrified sap. amber like.
yea the past circles around and catches it's own tail,
thus encirlcling the present with gerry's own song.

I'm with you Nita, that was so subtle poco.
And now, some of my most favorite lyrics of all time:
Leavin' texas, fourth day of July,
Sun so hot, the clouds so low, the eagles filled the sky.
Catch the Detroit lightnin' out of Sante Fe,
The great northern out of Cheyenne, from sea to shining sea.
Ho man, those ring so sweet.

if the music stopped?
it is never supposed to stop.
but what if it did?
a world with no music,
is incomprehensible.
but to venture there into that forbidden mental playground:
the incomprehensible.
i'd chase the wind for a day and see where it ended me.
i'd lay down there and chew a blade of grass.
untie my shoes and strip off my horrid socks.
i'd lay down, and then lay further down.
then i'd take the lay to a level i've never yet achieved.
i would dissapear.
not dead, no. just mysteriously absent.
once i was free of those damn socks, all wrotten and streched out;
once i was free of that physical mess dubbed chuck,
i'd become silence.
in order to know it better.
and to understand and appreciate my new audible companion, in my music-free world.
my trip thru silence cannot be penned, write now.
my head swirls with the dream,
while reeling with panic.
re-materializing, i step back into my holy socks,
dab my sneakers and find my way back into a world
that no longer rocks.
then i'd probably join a religion cause i sure as hell would be lost without music. lost people migrate down the drain.
goodly, the dead promised,

hey jerry.
anyone else in here?
no? just you and me? that's cool.
there's a lot of life to push out there.
the good folks must be doing their part.
you know pushin that wagon up the grade.
not me. not today. im just going to hang about with you jerry.
hey you wanna listen to this tape i found in a tree?
"you found a tape in a tree?"
well, yea. i was doing my high-angle logging gig,
for these rich folk up on that hill.
they wanted down this grand cedar cause they hate pitch on their
mercedes.
you know jerry, i love trees but i gotta make bucks. the whole pulling
the wagon thing.
anyway there was this tape lodged in a branch, kinda held there by
cedar sap. all incense smelling and all good.
so i pocketed the tape, lowered myself down and
told my clients that i found a rare species of bird in the upper reaches
of the tree.
and i have to consult an expert, cause i do believe the species may be endangered, or even believed to be extinct.
"well put in the tape and let's spin it."
...sccth...psssss...ss...
"....Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ? "
"F*#KIN JANICE! love that girl. pig got on great with that gal."
" 'shame she passed. she loved that bottle. that girl played hard, but had a voice like an angel."
or, jerry, like a bird.
"well shet, im diggin this."
"thanks for stopping by chuck, but i do believe you've planted a song seed on my heart"
cool jerry. i'll diesel on. what you gonna call the song?
"bird song."

I can't figure out
If it's the end
Or beginning
But the train's put its brakes on
And the whistle is screaming ....

"I been balling a shiny black steel jack-hammer,
been chippin' up rocks for the great highway,
live five years if I take my time,
ballin' that jack and a drinkin' my wine."
